National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, April 10

BCPS observes April 10th, as National Youth HIV & AIDS Awareness Day (NYHAAD) to recognize the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on young people. 

Our schools can play a critical role in promoting the health and safety of young people by teaching the dangers of unhealthy behaviors and the skills of a healthy lifestyle. To find out how you can help, go to the Center for Disease Control’s webpage or to Advocates for Youth, the lead for planning the observance day. Go to the NYHAAD site to access an observance toolkit, ideas, graphics and other resources to help engage youth.
